• 12 Mar 2020 in Senate: architects, Quality Assurance Systems (QAS), evaluators of programmes and projects that can sit together and execute mega contracts. Mr. Teemporary Speaker, Sir, these monies from China are all commercial loans. If they were concessional loans, we would say that these are loans that are virtually interest free. If the condition is that their contractors must come and do the work, let us concede to this. This is like going to Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) and borrowing money, and employing the Chinese to do the work against the Kenyans. What logic is there? What country are we building? Try and go ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also join you in welcoming the students from Tangaza College and members of staff from EALA to the Senate. Looking at this Petition, it casts a sorry state of affairs. This country is littered with frustrated, collapsed and defrauded SACCOs everywhere. SACCOs are drawing members from workers who surrender a portion of their income with a hope that it will make a better tomorrow. However, what turns out is often a nightmare. I come from very close to Eldoret. The Moi University SACCO Towers in Eldoret is one of the most prestigious towering structures ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join you in sending condolences on behalf of my family, Ford Kenya party, and my own, to the family of the departed friend and colleague, hon. Dori. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: I have known and worked with him for over 10 years. I knew him before he came to Parliament. He has been a regular companion together with his distinguished colleagues from Mombasa and Kilifi in the Parliamentary Health Club. When he was in Nairobi, he never missed to go to the Health Club. He was ever smiling, making positive jokes and talking to everybody. He has been a very steadfast representative. I have been to his home and know his family. It is regrettable that because of the strict nature of the Islamic burials, which we respect, some of us ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, like my colleague from Mombasa County said, last week we were with him in the gym and he was very jovial. He was talking about many things regarding this country; very positive things. So, God has taken him from us. We respect God’s will, but must celebrate the life of our colleague and the many things we have done with him. We pray that his soul rests in eternal peace. That is a route that we shall all follow. Thank you. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. When Sen. Farhiya mooted this idea, she consulted and asked me whether I could second the Bill. Unfortunately, it was moved when I was not here but I had agreed to second it. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: This Bill seeks to cure some lacuna in the existing law. It will also wake up those who have not been applying the law properly. We have some laws that can provide a prescient similar to this. We are having a specific Lifestyle Audit Bill and when it becomes an Act of Parliament, it will be the primary source of reference in carrying out audits. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: In this country, if you look around, the wealthiest individuals are people who have been in public service, without exception. There are a few people, for example, the late Kirima who started selling meat and real estate and grew into a wealthy person. We also have exceptions, for example, mzee Njenga Karume, who started selling charcoal and painstakingly build an empire that appears to be crumpling. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, without mentioning names, almost each and every extremely wealthy person in the country has made money through some inexplicable means from the offices they have held. Either they have been junior officers in very vital positions or they have been senior people in positions of accountability and failed to do so. Such a law would help. If you go to Nigeria, you will find something bizarre. A person goes to university and qualifies to be a medical doctor, lawyer or an engineer but the first place they want to work is customs or immigration. That is where ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: I want you to vary your Bill to make KRA a constant complainant against persons they think that are living beyond their means; their tax returns look good but they do not look believable; somebody is buying a new car every other month; but his company is incurring loses year-in, year out. Every year, he is acquiring new real estate and that his company’s returns show that he is in the negative and in the red throughout. So, such will then make KRA a complainant and the false information given in the returns will be part of the evidence that ... view
